Bill Low of Willow Kayaks uses Gaco AU 7000 on his boats (http://www.willowkayaks.com). It's a nice coating, but very toxic. http://www.gaco.com, Gaco has a boat repair page off of the main site but all of the links are broken. Corey Freedman of Spirit Line uses some custom goop, it isn't nearly as toxic as the Gaco. You may be able to get some directly from him if you can get to his shop in Anacortes WA. There are some pictures of his boats, coated, at http://www.skinboats.com/tradition.html Others have asked Freedman to ship the goop with no success... kirk -- Kirk Olsen kork4_at_cluemail.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
